Johnson played for Charlton Athletic from 2016 to 2017, before being released and joining National League side Bromley.

Charlton are seventh in League One, two points off the play-offs, with 13 games of the season remaining.

A club insider said yesterday: “The video caused bad blood. Some people laughed it off but it sparked resentment.

“Banter does the rounds at every club, but this was racism pure and simple.”

The Addicks boasted on its website yesterday that its community trust team is the first ‘Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer & Intersex life’ affiliated side.

The club’s trust team joined boss Karl Robinson’s squad for a training session as part of Football v Homophobia’s ‘month of action’.

Last year the BBC was forced to apologise to travellers after Orlando Bloom said “pikey” on Radio 1.

The actor uttered the term during a radio interview with Nick Grimshaw to promote his new film Unlocked.

The phrase, associated with constant travel in the 16th century before becoming a derogatory term, is widely recognised as a derogatory term for Gypsies and Travellers.

Charlton Athletic said in a statement: "We have been made aware of a video involving current and former Charlton Athletic players that contains offensive and unacceptable language.

“We will be speaking to the players concerned that are still at the club and will take appropriate action where necessary.”

When contacted by Sun Online, a Sheffield Wednesday spokesperson said: "We have viewed the video in question and roundly condemn the tone and nature of its content, which has no place in football or indeed any industry.

"Morgan’s contribution did not err towards the above, which would be wholly unacceptable from any employee of Sheffield Wednesday, player or otherwise.”

While Sheffield United added: "This was whilst Ricky was a Charlton player, when he arrived at Sheffield United in January he was advised of the social responsibilities of players associated with the club.”
